lect your life insurance? The answer in both cases is no: Therefore, let's be sensible. We must keep in mind that Altoona Is a likely target due to being a rail center, and on the main line of railroad transportation. As you know we are only 15 miles from Altoona and at the rate of speed that planes travel today we could easily be bombed due to a carry over on a bombing raid. The result being Tyrone could easily be bombed off the map. The true purpose of the Ground Observation post is to report information to the Air Force Filter Center which is used in completing a pattern to guide those responsible for the defense of the United States.

Again the question arises. "If Tyrone isn't bombed what good is Civil Defense?" Personally I feel that the biggest task that faces our Civil Defense organization is being capable of furnishing food, clothing and shelter for approximately 5,000 men, women and children made homeless through the necessity of being evacuated from cities within a radius of 150 miles of Tyrone. Then again we might be requested to take care of 8,000 or even 10,000. In case we face such a problem, our Civil Defense organization is capable of taking care of the situation, through the division of Civil Defense responsible for evacuation, medical, food, clothing and shelter. I know that every man, woman or child in Tyrone would gladly share to help such unfortunate human beings because in spite of our differences and criticism, down inside we are Americans.

In closing, I want to relate to you a recent experience while visiting the Ground Observation Post. It was about 9 o'clock in the evening when I stopped in to see who was on duty. An elderly gentleman greeted me and showed me the reports and made several good suggestions for the betterment of the post which were later put into operation. I did not know the name of the observer but during the conversation he informed me that he had never missed a tour of duty. He was proud of his record as an observer.

Not only did he serve two hour tours but sometimes four. I remarked about his spirit regarding the GOC and Civil Defense. Also I mentioned his sacrifice of time. I will ever forget his reply. He said, "Mr.

Meredith, I am willing to sacrifice time which is nothing compared to what my son sacrificed." I walked over and casually looked at the GOC log bcok and saw that the observer's name was Mr. It was then I understood for I knew his son, who had made the supreme sacrifice in World war II. Are you willing to sacrifice two hours a week or even a month, for Civil Defense? Sincerely yours, Robert K. Meredith, Civil Defense Director. draws near the interest is increasing, not alone for those planning, but for those who attended last year and who are looking forward once more to a happy afternoon.

Johnston of Hollidaysburg, is pictured above. Mrs. Johnston heads the committee under whose immediate sponsorship, the Baker Mansion bridge party is being given, Saturday afternoon, Sept. 19, at 2 o'clock. The committe has been an interested and an active one since its inception in 1946 under the presidency of Mrs.

Richard S. Magee. It was then known as the Baker Mansion restoration committee and the club has contributed generously in every way to the Baker Mansion interests through the committee. Since the restoration portion of the committee's work has been pretty well accomplished the committee's name is now shortened and reads, the Baker Mansion committee of the Woman's club of Altoona. The roster of the committee reads: Mrs.

Leslie Axe, Mrs. Michael 'J. Chulyak, Miss Anne Eifler, Mrs. Paul Faris, Miss Reba Franklin, Mrs. George P.

Donald McCartney, Mrs. David F. Miller, Mrs. Fred Moffitt, Mrs. Lloyqd M.

Morris, Mrs. John McDonald Russell, Mrs. Harry Shaeffer. In consequence of little need for emphasis on restoration at the present time the committee's interests have in turn broadened, and committee members of last year, under the leadership of Mrs. Johnston as chairman, sponsored the first Baker Mansion bridge party.

Co-sponsoring the party was the ways and means committee of the Junior Woman's club, and the same plan is being carried out this year. As the time D. Of A. Meetings Cancelled No meetings will be held Sept. 7, Labor Day, and Sept.

Why Grow Old? By Josephine Low man WHY CIVIL DEFENSE" I write this article as a means of defending the position of the Tyrone Civil Defense organization and at the same time clarify the great need of cooperation from the citizens of Tyrone and vicinity. It is true that a truce has been signed in Korea, which naturally causes many Americans to feel that the war is ended.

However, I do not want to be pessimistic but we fully realize that the Communists will take every advantage of the situation and strengthen their position in every respect. The one position that is already being strengthened is "Red propaganda" and many Americans are helping aid the Communist program by condemning Civil Defense. From information furnished by Val Peterson, Federal Civil Defense administrator, 70 per cent or seven out of every ten Russian bombers will get through to bomb the United States, which means that from 9,000,000 to Americans will lose their lives. I know what the average citizen thinks it can't happen to the United States. I am in no position to say that Russia will attack the United States nor am I in a position to say that they won't attack.

Do you know? From a common sense point of view, Premier Malenkov is the only one who has the answer. We have been requested by the United States air force to maintain a 24 -hour alert at our Ground Observation Corps tower and we do not have sufficient people to maintain a 24 hour alert The GOC post in Tyrone is one of the finest in every respect, except the number of people required to do the job. This unit is under the direct supervision of Albert O. "Mick" Morrison and various assistants who with the help of the same faithful and loyal citizens who carry the load as observers, are doing their best to comply with the request of the air force. The following question' is asked continually.

"What good is the GOC post in Tyrone?" First of all: Why do you have fire insurance? Do you get angry because you pay fire insurance and your house doesn't burn down? Do you look forward to the day when your beneficiary will col Fashion reflects itself in these highly-polished calfskins, in chestnut brown or black, made especially for us 10.95 Matching handbags from 7.95 plus tax Established 1923 HALF PRICE at MARCH'S TODAY and TOMORROW On Every Short Sleeve SPORT SHIRT All Sizes All Colors All Grades All Our Famous Makes Included MARCH'S SONS 1224 ELEVENTH AVE.

Unless you do you are going to be on the spot when you try on your fall and winter clothes. Has this ever happened to you? Do you remember your chagrin when you had nothing in early fall you could wear? You did not want to discard perfectly good costumes and buy new ones, and so there you were, with the? necessity of refusing invitations and frantically trying to reduce TAKE ACTION" Do not wait for the frosty winds to nip you before trying on your last year's suits and dresses, if -you suspect (or know) that you have gained weight. This is one way to put the pressure on your wilted determination.

Once you see yourself looking somewhat like a tuffed pigeon, you will take action. It is amazing how much difference five to eight pounds can make in the way your clothes look. The roll over the girdle, the alight thickening through the waistline, the little pad of fat on the abdomen, can entirely rob you of that sleek feeling and can make a Hattie Carnegie look like a rag. If you have only five to ten pounds too much you can lose it in short order if you will settle down for a few days and take your diet seriously. An abdominal exercise, a hip exercise and a waist exercise (just three) will also speed the loss in inches.

Try on those fall clothes right now! Also look over the skin and hair situation in order to rectify the damage done by sun and wind. Give your hair and face and neck a little special treatment. Usually I don't' offer my Nine-Day Diet except once, in the spring, but I cannot ask jou to do something and then frustrate you. So, I am offering you my Nine-Day Diet Booklet as a first aid measure.
